CBPN-FM

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a low-power tourist information station; such stations are not entitled to the presumption of notability for broadcast stations. On top of that, as a Canadian tourist information station, the station has been exempt from CRTC licensing since 2003, which led the CBC to request license revocation for this and several other tourist information stations in 2007. While such stations still require Industry Canada technical authorization, for all intents and purposes this is now an unlicensed station whose continued operation is all but unverifiable; such stations aren't presumed to be notable either. Given that the purpose of CBPN-FM was/is solely to warn travelers of landslides or avalanches, I can't imagine that the station can ever attain the sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline.

I am also nominating the following related pages for similar reasons:

Note that CBPP (and its French sister station CBPP-1), a park information station, is not mentioned in the 2007 license-revocation-due-to-exemption, but the most recent mention of the station I saw on a search of the CRTC website was a 1999 decision renewing the station's license through 2006. Even so, it has the same lack of notability as the other stations in this nomination. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:31, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per nominator. No automatic presumption of notability per WP:NMEDIA, and no viable reliable sourcing to verify on an ongoing basis whether the stations are actually still operational or not — even when this class of station did have to have a conventional CRTC license there was rarely if ever any real sourcing possible beyond the license documents themselves, so when that class of sourcing disappears too there's simply nothing left.
